To ask if anyone is actually enjoying this weather?

[LemonSherbetFancies]

I have felt sick and tired all day. Can't get comfortable, didn't sleep last night etc. Is anyone actually enjoying it as I am certainly not. Dreading work tomorrow also.

The perfect temperature is about 23 degrees. In bloody SE England its always either raining and 17 or less or 28-32. Rubbish.

Thanks @Hardbackwriter! It’s a nightmare isn’t it! I take your point about babies in hotter countries, and I keep reminding myself of this, but I’m a FTM so everything feels scary- especially the shiny red egg that says the room is too hot!!!

Loving it.

I used to love this sort of weather before I became a parent. But now I’m a lot less of a fan. I’m pregnant and feeling so nauseous so I’ve really struggled today. Chasing a two year old around trying to put sun cream on them is no fun - and as for getting them to sleep tonight, forget about it. Not to mention ensuring the dog stays cool - he needs loads of water, can’t take him out and it won’t be cool enough to walk him till well after 9pm, etc.

But I do get why people love it so much because I used to when I was young and fun 😂

Nope, red head, overweight, perimenopausal and had 2nd jab today - feeling quite ugh!!

And my dogs are fed up too!

Yes I love it

Nope hate it. Had a bday party for my son at home. Hired a open air bouncy castle for the kids. They couldn't go on it for more than a few mins each time as it was way too hot. And there I was worried about it raining on the day!

No problems here - have cleared out the spare room. Moved a double bed upstairs. Done a tip run and several loads of washing.

I do feel sorry for the dog though. He's not enjoying it at all.

All you heat-haters, don't you ever go abroad?

I'm a big fan of all the weather. Lots of places have hotter summers and colder winters. I guess we're just used to a very temperate climate here.

Lots of UK houses are built poorly for anything beyond a fairly narrow range of temperatures.

Love it! Went to the river this morning and spent the day swimming and chilling. Got home at 3.30 and spent the rest of the day in the garden/paddling pool with the kids. I'm getting a great tan!

No. It is like being in a giant burning wicker man.

No. I don't know why it either has to piss it down or be the temperature of the surface of the sun. Can we not have a nice in between?

Exactly. The fuck is wrong with this country?!!!

Thanks *@Hardbackwriter*! It’s a nightmare isn’t it! I take your point about babies in hotter countries, and I keep reminding myself of this, but I’m a FTM so everything feels scary- especially the shiny red egg that says the room is too hot!!!

Yes, it was exactly that egg I was thinking of when I said that - I remember being so stressed about the stupid red thing sitting there reprimanding me for not magically being able to cool our room!

Yes - my husband! Insanely, he loves 30C+ weather; the rest of us totally go to pieces

I like it when I’m on holiday and I can sit by a pool, cool off in said pool and not do anything.

I don’t like it when I have to clean out pets, prepare meals etc etc. I never understand it when people say just don’t do any chores when it’s hot-some can’t be left. Doing housework or meal prep in this kind of weather is miserable.

Hell yes. It’s amazing, particularly as we get so little of it. 😎

I'm loving it. I grew up in a hot country and I'm enjoying every single second

I’ve come to England from Scotland for a few days to visit family and I can’t believe how stiflingly, unbearably hot it is… it’s 29 degrees here but 10 degrees cooler at home… I miss my nice cool house!

I love the sun, love the blue skies, love to see other people out and about enjoying themselves.

Unfortunately I am fair skinned and burn really easily, I don't like the feeling of sweat on the skin, and I lose what little energy I have. I never, ever "sit in the sun". Let's not even mention the flies.

I won't moan about it though - it's rare and most people love it. It's very killjoy to complain about something that only happens a few days a year in the UK.

I like getting all my white bedding and towels washed and out on the line in brilliant sunshine.

I'd enjoy it if I had a pool and air conditioning

I am loving the hot weather. Generally do.

@ShrikeAttack yes, but not until autumn when places like Majorca are a pleasant 24 degrees

Hate it.
I shut the house up to keep the sun/heat out, but it's 30c outside (in the shade) atm.
In this kind of weather, my brain doesn't work, I feel nauseated, I have no appetite or energy, I can't sleep properly, my head starts spinning if I do anything more energetic than climbing the stairs - and that's without mentioning the fact that I'm drenched!
Add in the ridiculous hay-fever this year too and it's just utterly miserable right now (doesn't help that I've just had a message that my grocery delivery this evening has been cancelled too)

I don't usually like really hot weather but we have enjoyed it this weekend
